Memo to conservative talk radio hosts: Stop saying that the American people are too smart to fall for Obama.Rush says it (or at least, he used to say it — haven’t listened to him in a long time), Sean Hannity says it, yesterday I caught a few minutes of Mike Gallagher, and he said it: “The American people are too smart to fall for [insert liberal tripe here].” Hogwash. Yesterday, Gallagher claimed the American people were too smart to fall for Obama. To which I respond: Where’s your damn evidence?
Last week, finally, I heard a more honest assessment of the public made by Mark Levin. Catching up on a podcast of last Monday’s show, I heard him express his concern that the public will accept the “chrasmatic demagogue” Barack Obama. His opinion is that 40% or so of Americans at any one time are dolts. Thanks for being real, Mark. I agree entirely.
This is why I don’t get too upset when someone like Michael Moore says that half the American people are idiots. I agree with him. He and I just aren’t thinking about the same half. 2 comments to Memo to conservative talk radio hosts: Stop saying that the American people are too smart to fall for Obama.Your incentive to comment: |

The notion that neo-con mouths who have pushed as much crap on Americans as anyone are willing to say American’s are too smart to buy what Barack is selling makes me laugh. If they honestly believe this it only goes to prove they are the stupidest people in America for buying their own line of popular BS!
American’s aren’t dumb in either party. While I rarely agree with the conservative point of view I know those that do aren’t doing it because they are stupid (for the most part). People are buying what is being sold on both sides of the ticket because they want change or are afraid of change. Either way by this time tomorrow morning I seriously hope we know who that change is going to be for.
Brad,
Your central point is valid. However I would add that conservatives(& libertarians) are not afraid of change in of itself, just change that would retard the progress made in this country in regards to the economic (and just for me-social and cultural) spheres.
